Five Years of Marriage to Mr. Bradford (by Koi Fish) novel Chapter 614

Chapter 614

People always said there was no true empathy in this world. But there was. Right now, Rebecca understood Vance perfectly. Seven years ago, she had done the same thing, constantly saying, “It doesn’t hurt. I’ll get better. Don’t worry.”

In truth, it had hurt badly, and she had been terrified.

Before that, she wanted to visit the hospital. Even though she knew Gabriel was covering the bills, Vance had been there too long.

Or perhaps she was simply restless and making excuses. She just needed to know how he was doing, even if it were through the doctor.

So, the day before classes resumed, she went to the hospital. At the nurses‘ station, they told her the patient had already been discharged.
